We live in a world where people are instructed to take shelter and then are bombed, by bad news, and impending disaster.

Be like the mangrove forest. The word mangrove itself can refer to either an individual tree or shrub or an entire forest. They can be individuals or communities. Twice a day, mangroves are flooded by the tide and through all of it, they remain.

Even when it feels like our foundation is shifting beneath our feet, we can still grow rooted.
